EDITOR'S NOTE:

Art Digital Magazine (AD MAG) is on a long-term hiatus. AD MAG was published from 2010 to 2016, and during that time it amassed the largest collection of feature length interviews and articles with digital artist and art administrators in the world. In time, AD MAG will return, but for now the domain redirects to Digital Art News (DAN).

Max Eternity @ Art Digital Magazine (AD MAG) – There’s something dark and exciting about the imagery of Polynoid's hyper-realities that keeps the viewer on edge, as one is drawn into rich virtual worlds with peaked curiosity, but unsure whether to be afraid, thrilled, or simply awed.
